Practical embodiments of my invention are represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents a detail front elevation showing the pillow or cushion bifurcated at one corner thereof and suspended from a clothesline. p

Fig. 2 represents a detail front elevation of the same on a largerscale.

In the form shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, the pillow or cushion is bifurcated at one corner thereof and provided with a lining 3, to form hollow flaps 4 and 5 having their interiors open to the interior of the pillow or cushion. lVhen it is desired to suspend the pillow or cushion these two corner flaps 4 and 5 are opened sutciently Serial No. 13,404.

to receive the clothesline between them and means are provided for detachabl)Y securing the flaps together around the clothesline, such means in the lforin under discussion including' a pair ot' ciacl'ing 'fastening elements, such as snap fasteners 6 and 7.

In Fig. 8 I have shown a form in which the lront and back of the pillow are Stitched together, as shown at 15, to term two unlined flaps 16- and 17, the pair of coacting 'fastening elements in this :torni beingdenoted by 18 and 19.
